They keep everything very clean and the serving area restocked. I even heard the young man giving great tourist advice to an elderly couple. I took off one star because the room type we reserved was unavailable. The desk staff said Expedia had oversold the handicap rooms, so I guess it wasn’t the hotels fault, but it was disappointing."
